Significance Community and regional banks were never the primary target of post-financial crisis reforms, but have been affected by the knock-on effects of the 2010 Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Competitiveness Act. Impacts Regulation has an outsize impact on institutions that have a smaller base over which to amortise regulatory and compliance costs. This has major consequences for lending patterns, as smaller community banks are still a significant source of small loans to businesses. Regulatory relief for smaller institutions could free up resources for small business lending, which might stimulate job growth.
